We could go along with that narrative if you want to go along with the one that involves the creation of the English, Welsh, and Scottish national identities and modern Britishness through mass genocide during the so-called Dark Ages, since that one's about as accurate. If you're going to be wrong, you might as well be wrong about everything.By inviting a foreign nation to kill them through war and disease, drive the survivors into the wilderness, and repopulate the country with poor migrant workers?

Genocide is how things work. Might makes right and all that stuff.
Of course, after we invented agriculture it wasn't so much genocides as slavery and later the conquered people being a "lower class" than the conquerors.

It is the most ethnically diverse large city in the world, and it's not close.

Touched a nerve there, eh?
Yes, but I never claimed that the UK represents a mulicultural wonderland. It is self-evidently not.
That would've been a tad more cutting if I lived in a Gaelic-speaking country, don't you think?
Not very, though. It was a pretty random come-back in the first place.

Well your tag there says U.K so i assumed you were a brit. I dont know what part of Britain but it is your country right? Maybe you should update your tag.
My assumption was based on your tag i have no clue about Gaelic.
I could as easily say the same about your post.Touched a nerve there, eh?

To all you Germans:
Do you have these "immigrant-clusters" in your cities? That is, apartment blocks that are mostly (if not almost completely) populated by immigrants?

If you mean swarms of hispanics and koreans with a light sprinkle of ethopians, arabs and a touch up of other assorted nationalities I guess so.

Considering America was built on immigration from all corners of the globe, it's not exactly an achievment. It's more like a statement of fact.
You're in Fairfax and you forgot our Viet community? They'll make sure you remember them come February 3.
